Imagining the mountain, 10 years of contemporary research and creation at Saint-Gervais

Maison forte de Hautetour

How do we look at the mountains today?

A source of inspiration and transformation, the mountain's materials, landscapes and uses are observed, magnified and worked on in singular ways in the works presented. Over the years, more than fifteen artists have been invited to Saint-Gervais. Painters, draughtsmen, photographers, sculptors, sound and video artists, they have sought to question what makes the mountains today: how do we look at these landscapes? What do they tell us about their past and their future? What images of the mountains can be produced to activate new imaginations? How do artists use the mountains as a laboratory for artistic experimentation, but also to highlight the changes that are taking place?
